    Appetizer - Heirloom Tomato & Basil Bruschetta
    J W.

    This team is not only extremely talented but also such a lovely company to work with. Prior to my event I worked with Kharma and Chef Matt. Matt is very knowledgeable and depending on your budget he will make your customized menu for your taste. Working with him was seamless and easy. He customized a 3 course meal for a 27 person event for me that had tastes of Italy. On the day of the event Chef Sol and Tosh were on duty. From the beginning they exhibited professionalism and made my event so beautifully memorable. I was celebrating my 50th birthday- a big milestone for me. My guests have all raved about the food even two days later. My 24 year old son said "this is the best tasting food I've ever had". I didn't take it personally because I knew what he meant. What really cemented me raving about this company was the level of compassion they had. There was a small incident at the place I was holding the event and when Tosh saw my mood change she felt it and said a word of encouragement to me. I won't ever forget it. Business is business and you can do it with whomever but I will forever do business and recommend this one to anyone looking for a private chef in Northern California. Top notch excellent food and service. Don't wait - book them!!

    Chef Matt and sous-chef Phil did an AMAZING job for us at our girls weekend birthday celebration. He is talented, engaging, and knowledgeable. Amazing array of the hors d'ouerves, main course, and dessert--much sourced from his own garden. A truly unique experience, complement to any Napa, Sonoma, or Santa Rosa visit.

    Chicken and Mushroom Baos - So delicious!

    Chef Matt and team catered a custom "Asian American Fusion" menu for my wedding of 112 guests in Santa Rosa. They went above and beyond what I expected a catering team to do. Initially communication was very smooth. They addressed all my requests, answered all my questions and worked with everyone's allergies and diet restrictions. There were some small hiccups with coordinators switching in and out, but in the end everyone that I worked with was very professional and I couldn't have asked for a better catering team! Food: Amazing. I have some major foodies in my family and they said the food was great! We also really loved some of the veggies from Chef Matt's very own garden! I wished I had room and time to eat seconds! Presentation: We got the baos and I loved the presentation in the giant dim sum baskets! I also requested a small plate of appetizers since my husband and I were taking photos during that time. I was pleasantly surprised on how lovely our appetizer plate was set for us. Service: They did an amazing job setting up my reception and dessert tables. It looked like a Pinterest wedding! The next day I went back to do final clean up, and they did a great job with clean up too!

    Chef Matt and Daisy are two kind souls who've created a uniquely wonderful catering service with the absolute best food imaginable! They were both amazing to work with throughout the wedding planning process and perfectly executed our family style meal. Chef Matt's food is elevated, creative, and thoughtful while Daisy and her friendly staff's service skills are polished and well prepared. Every aspect was exceptional, and all of our guests continue to talk about the delicious food and drinks at our wedding. The Epicurean Team also prepared and delivered our amazing brunch service the day after the wedding, which I highly recommend! Their prices are unparalleled and Chef Matt will work with you to create a fun and distinctive menu that showcases sustainable, local, and seasonal ingredients. I strongly recommend hiring them for all your event needs, and I'm dreaming of the next time I get to taste Chef Matt's incredible food!

    Wow, just wow!! We stumbled upon Epicurean Escape Catering while planning our wedding, they had worked at our venue once before. As soon as we sat down for a tasting we knew we had to go with them. The head chef Matt is a genius! His creations are absolutely to die for and his helpful and kind nature instantly won us over. The rest of the team was attentive and responsive throughout the entire planning process. They went above and beyond and helped us when the unexpected came up. Our wedding wouldn't have been half as enjoyable if not for Epicurean Escape!

    See all

From the introductory call to the tasting to services on the day-of, Tim was just a joy to talk to and work with. He is possibly one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. Accommodating, warm, generous, honest, and easygoing. He loves what he does and is passionate about making his customers happy; it really shows in the care that he puts into his food. And unlike other vendors for our wedding weekend who made me eventually feel like just another income-generating number -- with Tim, first and foremost, he always treated me and my family as people who deserved his attention and care. It showed in his responsiveness and in his flawless execution of planning, set up, and service on the day-of. I didn't need to worry about a thing. This is truly saying a lot because, as someone who negotiates contracts and runs transactions for a living, I'm probably one of the most detail-oriented, most-organized persons you'll ever meet. The food itself is just delicious. Guests were raving at how yummy his St. Louis ribs were. And let me tell you about his sauces. He gave me and my husband two bottles after our tasting, and I rationed those for almost an entire year so that I could always have a splash or two handy whenever I needed it. There really should be more caterers like Tim, and I thank him from the bottom of my heart for letting me and my husband express through him our love and care for our friends and family.

Their attention to detail was impeccable--from helping with designing a menu that reflected our taste to ensuring everything ran smoothly on the day of.

Definitely recommend the Thai quesadillas for appetizer, but every single dish was truly delightful and cooked to perfection, and the presentation was beautiful. If you're looking for a caterer who genuinely listens, offers thoughtful suggestions, and delivers exceptional service, Trends is the one.

All done with extraordinary kindness, patience, and care. For apps, we chose beef quesadillas, tequila shrimp, and the salmon corn cakes. For entrees, we chose the salmon and the chicken, of which they have plenty of variety. For vegetarians/vegans, there was a stuffed mushroom option. Finally, for sides, we had risotto, polenta, and fresh vegetables. All absolutely delicious. Our first introductory meal was sooooo good, and included a rocky road brownie that blew my mind. I wasn't sure how the food would taste for the main event, adding 75 more family style servings. But it was just as fantastic. The consistency was very impressive. The best thing we can say about Trends Catering is that we wish it was an actual brick and mortar restaurant. Because my wife and I would go there at least once a week... If you're looking for catering for your wedding or any other event, we cannot recommend Trends enough :)

For example, the beef sliders were on fresh soft brioche buns, the beef was seasoned and cooked beautifully to medium and it was topped with a well done caramelized onion jam and the bread was brushed with a savory aioli. All the dishes were that way. They provided more than enough food for our party, dropped off on time, nicely plattered on non-plastic platters with non-plastic serving utensils. Elyse's communication was prompt, clear and consistent. I highly recommend the Brass Spatula for your next event.
